The future is green

Reducing your environmental footprintBesides being a haven of comfort and quality each Countryside home

comes with sustainability built in. Highly energy and water efficient, each

and every property is constructed from materials specially chosen for their

low environmental impact.

On top of that, our homes are bursting with eco-friendly features that are

also kind on your bank balance. At a time when energy prices are rising,

that’s got to make more sense than ever before…

For instance, did you know that on average, £1 in every £3 spent on

energy in older homes is instantly wasted? Or that around 25% of the

UK’s carbon emissions comes from housing?

With over 100 awards for sustainability since 2000, you can trust a

Countryside home to be 6.5 times more energy efficient than one built

just 30 years ago.

All of our homes are fitted with low water use appliances throughout,

including taps and toilet flushes using less water per use. We even work

with suppliers who source from forests certified to either FSC, the PEFC

or ‘non-controversial’ sources, meaning products are sourced responsibly.

Our commitment to your environment doesn’t stop there. By building

characterful homes set in open green spaces with transport links and

amenities nearby, we strive to provide the best possible quality of life for

anyone who buys a Countryside home.

Help to Buy

18

We all need a little Help to Buy*

The Government created the Help to Buy Scheme to support people in buying their own home. Whether you want to get onto the housing ladder

or move up it, the scheme can enable you to buy a new-build home with as little as a 5% deposit.

If you raise that 5% deposit, you could receive a Government equality loan of up to 20% of the purchase price. The loan is interest free for the first 5

years, which helps to make your monthly mortgage repayments more affordable. Help to Buy has a £600,000 maximum price limit.
